Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

ah this thread must be killing ya then...sounds like our Air Force dormitory and "chow hall"

 

Can’t be like a dorm. Never seen no Keg.

 

Exactly. We just added this addition.

 

that looks like a muddy mess...Dormitory looks nice

 

theres got to be some scrap metal and a welder nearby...you could build something there

 

Russell Up a Caribou or two

 

I think he's closer to Santa's reindeer! Now that would be a good contest cook!

 

Dude if you smoke rudolph my 8 year old daughter might just hunt you down and toss you on the smoker. Like her dad she’s ruthless.

 

he's the rare one though!

 

Just got back from Fareway with 2 pork shoulders at 99 cents a pound.

Days like this .. I need a shopping buddy haha.. their limit is 2 at a time.

 

load in car... go back in, different line but a shopper buddy helps too. My freezer has a blank space for more butts next sale.

 

just go to your vehicle and go back through a different line...

 

Just say it’s different money & you’re good.

 

low and slow...maybe add a water pan below the brisket to keep the humidity up in there? Im still working on that part myself. Ive also wanted to try injecting with a beef broth or au jus.

 

What smoker are you using? Did you wrap last time?

 

Went to a new ish BBQ joint. I went a few months ago and wanted to try again.

Brotherton's Black Iron BBQ (@itzyoboipaul , you tried this yet?)




4 meat plate- 1 pound of meat total ($23) - Brisket, Ribs, Turkey, Jalapeno Sausage, Green Chili Mac and Cheese, Cream Corn in the container.

Turkey- Moist and good smoke flavor
Ribs - Slight tacky glaze on them sweet with a tiny bit of heat, really FOTB texture, little more than I prefer but really good
Sausage - nice kick, but average sausage. Not bad, just didn't stand out.
Brisket - Great Barq and good smoke flavor. Really moist. was definitely overcooked a bit though, it fell to pieces if picked up. still enjoyed it
Mac - really good with the green chili!
Corn... I mean... c'mon... it was good.

 

Dang man. I haven’t eaten yet and looking at that just made my stomach growl.

 

This looks like a screaming deal, seems a little suspect though. Says he is selling to because he has 2 and doesn't need a brand new one.

I may have to see if I can snag it though

 

Just do it

 

I've only done 1 real brisket so far. I didn't wrap and had a lot of bark (too much for me). The point was really moist, the flat was dry. Others have said I may have undercooked, and I may agree with that as the probe just didn't go in as smooth as I'm told it should have. I will be wrapping next time after a few hours. Just gotta experiment!
